By Edward Teach
In a highly controversial episode banned from terrestrial
television, Mulder and Scully arrive at the Memorial to investigate
a conspiracy theory. Having somehow contrived to go from sublime
to ridiculous within the space of just a few days on a regular basis,
the bickering FBI agents are brought in to find out just who or what
is behind these regular anomalies. But by whom?
The trollop is looking shifty and tries to sell them a Dalek and
a Spanish Waiter for twenty quid and a piece of Krypronite.
Then a secret meeting on an unsteady gantry high up in the Memorial
with a mysterious character who introduces himself (or herself) as
Deep Shit, convinces Mulder that he is onto something. Deep Shit
suggests that several of the warriors are often replaced by trial
alien beings created in a lab by a Smoking Man. However, they often
find it hard to adjust to the environment and sometimes can't cope
with the atmospheric pressure in the Memorial. As a result it is
believed that they would never survive in the League One Galaxy.
Mulder stumbles upon this lab and the Smoking Man, who appears to
be siphoning spiked tea into one of the Alien Beings as it lays spreadeagled
on a treatment table. Inevitably, it is all whisked away from before
his eyes moments before Scully arrives to deride him for his crackpot
ideas. She puts her hands on her hips, scowls at him, pouts and leaves
many of the teenage male viewers reaching for a box of Kleenex, while
Mulder tries to show some kind of emotion.
Needless to say he fails and the conspiracy remains a mystery.
Are Lennie Bennett and the trollop relieved? Are they mere pawns
in a far bigger conspiracy involving Deep Shit, the Smoking Man and
an alien invasion from within the TARDIS to prevent the Memorial
getting into the League One Galaxy? And are the Memorial Overseers,
mysterious men in big coats and with their fingers stuck in lots
of pies, party to all this?
Or is this all a load of old training balls and the warriors ability
to fight and be victorious just randomly incompetent or brilliant,
depending on everyday variables like the weather, the tactics or
how many WKD's they had in The Works the night before?
